Guest speaker, Tony Arnds, preaches the installation service for Ben Ito.

Jesus focuses on what's most important.

1. A Comprehensive Love of God
2. A Comprehensive Love of Others
3. A Comprehensive Dependence on Jesus

The religious leaders present a question about the afterlife to Jesus.

1. The Sadducees' Attack
2. The Savior's Answer
3. The Saint's Application

What does it mean for Christians to conduct themselves in fear? What motivation is given to do so?

We are called to conduct ourselves in fear during our exile, because:

1. You Worship the Impartial Judge
2. You Are Redeemed
3. You Are Involved in God’s Plan

An unlikely alliance tries to trap Jesus, and they end up getting trapped. In this sermon, see:

The Profile of People Pleaser
The Profile of a Preacher
The Principle of Property

Jesus tells a parable that exposes the hearts of the religious leaders & puts on display God's perfect plan.

Jesus interacts with the religious leaders who’s pride will not allow them to surrender to Jesus’ authority. And the Lord confronts it!

3 Mistakes the religious leaders made:

1. Reject the Clear Authority of Jesus
2. Live for the Approval of Man
3. Cut themselves off from Genuine Joy, Truth, and Life

Jesus deals with those who give the appearance of bring spiritual, without truly bearing spiritual fruit. It's a wonderful opportunity for us to check our heart & evaluate whether we are just showy leaves or fruit-bearing trees. We unpack Mark 11:12-25 in 3 scenes:

1. A Fruitless Tree
2. A Fruitless Temple
3. A Fruitful Believer

We unpack the glorious account of Jesus entering into Jerusalem on Passover week.

Jesus heals Bartimaeus.
